Behind intolerance hides the most primal sense of ego, a clandestine belief that “I and my kind are the only thing that should be.” People may give reasons for their intolerance, but the reasons are secondary. They despise others for the space they consume. Stripped to the bone, it is senseless hatred without reason. It is the core of all evil. It is what holds the human soul in exile from the garden. And its only cure is in unbridled acts of kindness, in opening your heart to the other guy regardless of how different and distant the other guy may be. Caring beyond reason. Kuntres Hechaltzu 5699.
